	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1428, as introduced, Pavley. Criminal investigation:
interception of communications.
   (1) Existing law allows for an application authorizing the
interception of a wire, electronic pager, or electronic cellular
telephone to be made by the Attorney General or a district attorney
to a judge of a superior court, as specified. Existing law defines
wire communication, electronic pager communication, and electronic
cellular telephone communication for these purposes.
   This bill would delete the references to electronic pager
communication and electronic cellular telephone communication and
replace those references with references to electronic communication,
and would define electronic communication as any transfer of signs,
signals, writings, images, sounds, data, or intelligence by a wire,
radio, electromagnetic, photoelectric, or photo-optical system, with
specified exceptions for tone-only paging, tracking devices, or
electronic funds transfer information, as provided. This bill would
thereby authorize the above persons to make an application for an
order permitting the interception of electronic communications, as
defined.
   (2) Under existing law an application for a communications
interception may be made informally and granted orally if an
emergency situation exists, and other factors are present. Existing
law conditions the oral grant of the informal application on the
filing of a written application for an order within 48 hours of the
oral approval.
   This bill would condition the granting of an oral approval on the
filing of a written application by midnight of the second full court
day after the oral approval is made.
   (3) Under existing law an order may not authorize a communications
interception for longer than a maximum of 30 days.
   This bill would provide that the 30 days would not commence until
the day of the actual initial interception, or 10 days after the
issuance of the order, whichever comes first.
   (4) Existing law requires an order for a communications
interception to require that written reports to be made to the judge
authorizing the interception, as provided. Existing law requires that
a report be filed at least every 6 days until the authorization is
terminated.
   This bill would require the reports to be made every 10 days,
commencing with the date of the signing of the order authorizing the
interception.
   (5) This bill would make other conforming and clarifying changes.
   (6) Existing law specifies obligations for parties applying for
and carrying out orders to intercept communication, and makes a
violation of these provisions a misdemeanor or felony.
   This bill would broaden the types of communication to which these
crimes would apply. By creating new crimes, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   (7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 629.50 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

presiding judge of the superior court or one other judge designated
by the presiding judge. An ordered list of additional judges may be
authorized by the presiding judge to sign an order authorizing an
interception. One of these judges may hear an application and sign an
order only if that judge makes a determination that the presiding
judge, the first designated judge, and those judges higher on the
list are unavailable. Each application shall include all of the
following information:

making the application, and the officer authorizing the application.

relied upon by the applicant to justify his or her belief that an
order should be issued, including (A) details as to the particular
offense that has been, is being, or is about to be committed, (B) the

is required to be maintained, and if the nature of the investigation

establishing probable cause to believe that additional communications
of the same type will occur thereafter.
   (6) A full and complete statement of the facts concerning all
previous applications known, to the individual authorizing and to the

a state or federal court for authorization to intercept wire

communications   or electronic communications 
involving any of the same persons, facilities, or places specified in
the application, and the action taken by the judge on each of those
applications. This requirement may be satisfied by making inquiry of
the California Attorney General and the United States Department of

Sections 629.74 and 629.76 and (2) the contents and any evidence
derived therefrom may be used under Section 629.78 when authorized by
a judge if the judge finds, upon subsequent application, that the

of this chapter. The application shall be made as soon as
practicable.
   (b) If a peace officer or federal law enforcement officer, while
engaged in intercepting wire  , electronic pager, or

notice of the intercepted wire  , electronic pager, or
electronic cellular telephone communication   or
electronic communication  and a copy of the contents thereof
that were used to obtain the warrant.

Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 630) or any other law.
  SEC. 21.  Section 629.88 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   629.88.  Nothing in Section 631, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 shall be
construed as prohibiting any peace officer or federal law enforcement
officer from intercepting any wire  , electronic pager, or
electronic cellular telephone communication   or
electronic communication  pursuant to an order issued in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Nothing in Section
631, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 shall be construed as rendering
inadmissible in any criminal proceeding in any court or before any
grand jury any evidence obtained by means of an order issued in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Nothing in Section
637 shall be construed as prohibiting the disclosure of the contents
of any wire  , electronic pager, or electronic cellular

any other section or code, this chapter expressly prohibits covert
entry of a residential dwelling, hotel room, or motel room to
facilitate an order to intercept wire  , electronic pager, or
electronic cellular telephone communications   or
electronic communications  .
  SEC. 23.  Section 629.90 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   629.90.  An order authorizing the interception of a wire 
, electronic pager, or electronic cellular telephone communication
  or electronic communication  shall direct, upon
request of the applicant, that a public utility engaged in the
business of providing communications services and facilities, a
landlord, custodian, or any other person furnish the applicant
forthwith all information, facilities, and technical assistance
necessary to accomplish the interception unobtrusively and with a
minimum of interference with the services which the public utility,
landlord, custodian, or other person is providing the person whose
communications are to be intercepted. Any such public utility,
landlord, custodian, or other person furnishing facilities or
technical assistance shall be fully compensated by the applicant for
the reasonable costs of furnishing the facilities and technical
assistance.
  SEC. 24.  Section 629.94 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

of the interception of private wire  , electronic pager, or
electronic cellular telephone communications   or
electronic communications  and related investigative techniques.

   (b) The Attorney General shall set minimum standards for
certification and periodic recertification of the following persons
as eligible to apply for orders authorizing the interception of

telephone communications   or electronic communications
 , to conduct the interceptions, and to use the communications

enforcement officer.
   (c) The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training may
charge a reasonable enrollment fee for those students who are
employed by an agency not eligible for reimbursement by the
commission to offset the costs of the training. The Attorney General
may charge a reasonable fee to offset the cost of certification.
  SEC. 25.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
